Im going to be going with pro stars in the spring, with a pretty meaty DR and ~ a 165 in the front, was just wondering if you can still **** around at lower speeds with them as you can with the steam rollers.

Spuds you never cease to amaze me... You want DR's for your slowass POS, but your afraid of your rear grenading on a good launch.

camaroz, whats yours run in the 1/4, b/c I'd almost bet that mine will be faster once I get my sixty foot times down, as I'm trapping at 105 now-a-days... And Im not afraid of the rear end grenading at my power level, defiantly not gonna go with me slipping the clutch out on launches. Oh, and SmokeySS, I'm perfectly aware that you have to take turns slower with Skinnies. Now I'm really just wanting some information from people that actually have experience with the skinnies. I just don't want to bend a rim..
